In Kapitel 3 "THE PROGRESSION OF PRINCIPLES (POP) MODEL" (S.51-60) steht im Abschnitt "MONEYLESS WOMEN AND MEN"(S.57-60) auf S. 58f:"Jürgen Wagner: as part of the Schenkers (Givers) movement, the man known as Oeffie has been living without money since 1991. As a moneyless German, most of his work is in his native tongue. If you speak German or have access to translation, you can learn more about him and his perspectives online."

Eigentlich hatte Mark Boyle für sein Buch über einen unter uns Geldlosen existierenden Mail-Verteiler vorher um Beiträge von uns anderen nachgefragt.Besser gesagt, hatte er einige Zeit zuvor schon bei uns wegen Beiträgen für seinen Blog angefragt; ich zitiere aus einer Mail an uns:9.Dez.2010Hey beautiful moneyless beings,I hope all is fantastic in your worlds.I write a blog on the Freeconomy (http://www.justfortheloveofit.org) websiteabout moneyless living and all the different philosophical and practicalaspects to it.I am trying to steer attention on it away from me though and instead ontomoneyless living itself. I want to show that there are more and morepeople choosing this path, all for slightly different reasons. People willrelate to some people and their philosophies more than others. I thinkthis could be a powerful series if you're all up for participating.I would love it if all/some of you would write a guest blog for thewebsite - I'd post one a week in a series of guest posts by othermoneyless people. ......Have a fantastic day, great to be sharing the planet with you,

I am living without money, because we need a (global) responsability-orientation, which is looking for the good of the whole, instead of being dominated by isolated partial-interests and -calculations... (Every adult person should habe this responsability...)The flow of giving and taking should try to fit for the whole, independent of, whether there is an (immediate/individual) revenge or not...It is an attitude of IDENTIFICATION with the world, as cells are identified in an organism... --where a cell can give in quite another direction as it gets its needed things from..., and where for example a "white blood-cell" is ready to "eat" illness-bacteria and dy with them – what could not be the result of an individual revenge- or advantage-calculation... -- The only decisive motivation is the happiness of IDENTIFCATION WITH THE WHOLE...)

LOVE THE WORLD AS YOUR SELF...

And among human beings the basic-capacity of us all, that everybody can think and decide, makes the free participation in a peaceful and just society such a valuable possible contribution of the individual, that we should lovingly invite every human being to become such a "global consensus-brother or -sister"... Beginning with myself..., doing to others, what I expect of them to do to me..., non-violently making gifts...Regarding us as becoming a big emancipated humanity-family, deciding in consensus, making gifts in love und sharing according to abilities and needs, so that everybody feels as happy as the others...LOVE EVERY HUMAN BEING AS YOUR SELF...Money or any form of isolated revenge-calculation (as decisive criterium) is not fitting for such a 'GLOBAL RESPONSABILITY AND LOVE(-PLANNING)'...It is not "organic" and it is not according to the "logics of love"... As you can directly feel in deep friendships, love-affairs (with the woman as my "heart" for example...) and loving families...

I came to this (theoretical) decision for my life, when I was 13 years old... (1977)

It was my inner awakening to an adult person or for the maturity to take control of my own "steering-wheel for life"...:I found out, that I could make my own decisions with my "free will", on the basis of my own thinking...I saw, that the basic-principle for (my) orientation should be: "Always look for the most important question and then for the most reasonable answer to it..."So I came to find my essential self-understanding as a "REASON-SOUL" ("animal rationale"): Where my REASON is the longing for sense, at best a sense of the whole... - and SOUL means my connection to the bio-cosmos around me, integrating me in the big life-context and making me try to serve this unity of life as good as possible...So it was clear to me, that I would dedicate my life for a globally responsable development in the world...As the most important for this I recognized, that the human beings needed a "minimum-consensus for global responsability"...As the best-possible content for this "minimum-consensus" I found: "There must be enough REASON and LOVE, so that the humans become able for a 'common-good-consensus'..."All other questions can best then be given into these consensus-decisions of the woken up "GLOBAL CONSENSUS-BROTHERS AND -SISTERS"...

1991 I founded "Schenkers-Movement" ("Givers-Movement") and began to live these ideas in praxis, without state (identity card), money and luxury, as a 'homeless pilgrim on the street', in "Houses of Hospitality" (where we offer social work for the poorest as a gift) and in "nature projects", where in part I am living like a free animal (eating wild herbs, insects and so on)...FREE MOTHER EARTH FOR FREE SHARING PEOPLE!

Let us begin to build "COMMUNITIES OF GLOBAL CONSENSUS-SHARING", whereever we can, as much as possible...

Our "Schenkers-Movement" has two associations and 6 community-projects in Germany, and everybody is invited to join... Or to build further "Schenker-Projects", whereever he or she is...In "Schenkers-Movement" it is possible to begin with smallest steps, and to make the steps bigger freely, as one wants...

I send you my comment, which I gave to Pavlik on the moneyless.info-site, also here, in case, some people can see it better here:

I am very happy about the ideas and work of elf Pavlik...By such activities, I think, we can create together a quite open horizon (an open field of visions and practical possibilities), where everybody can see, critically examine and - if found useful - use all aspects and possibilities of living without money... ((In the last ideal, I think, it will mean: gift-economy, which organizes giving and taking according to the good energy-flow of the WHOLE, instead of isolated revenge-calculations...))The whole spectrum: Persons (for example 'Lifestyle Gift Economists'), (gift-)exchange-networks, community-models... -- everything can be seen then, without excluding something... Organized in a way, that all searching people can orientate themselves in a best-possible way...So that we and humanity best can grow to a LOVING FAMILY, where we simply share, as it meets the capacities and needs of the brothers and sisters and of mother earth, planning in consensus-communities in a ressource-based way -- instead of short-sighted, fragmented revenge-thinking without limits or scruples, as it is connected for example with the 'cold' money-logics... (You can add moral etc. motivations to the money-functioning 'from outside', but the ('inner') logics of the money itself is such revenge...)Such a clear and not-exclusive overview of the moneyless-living-possibilities is one of my dreams of the last 20 years, during which I live now without state and money, only exchanging gifts...Some people already began work in this direction in the last years (look at the 'altruists'-list of 'Lifestyle Gift Economists', or at the websites of Mark Boyle...)...I think, elf Pavlik can contribute a very beautiful form to it... We can all cooperate for it...

Now concretely to the idea of a 'guide' for the cities (or villages), what possibilities of moneyless-living can be found there. Very good idea to my mind.I can offer a list of the few community-project-adresses, which we have till now. If someone is ready to live very simple (by containered food, or by collected wild herbs etc.), then we can offer (as a gift) in these projects a rather complete (community-)basis of life...The main-projects are1. 'House of Hospitality', Alte Dorfstr. 6, 19370 Parchim OT Dargelütz (where it should be possible to be welcomed at every time), Schenker Rasputin: 038720-88558 or 01794072506;2. 'Friedens-Garten', Haus 5c, 02627 Hochkirch OT Pommritz (in times, when one of us is in the project and thinks, he 'can stand it'; see telephone...), Uwe Haspel: 03593980602 ;3. 'Biotopia', Alte Lausitzer Str. 2, 02708 Löbau OT Kittlitz (in times, when one of us is in the project; see telephone...), Öff Öff: 017627110248 ;4. 'Lilitopia', 35260 Stadtallendorf (in times, when one of us is in the project; in the house only people, where the community-members think, they 'can stand them'; with Öff Öff in an old hut in the forest...), Öff Öff: 017627110248 or 01629182725;(There are perhaps some more addresses, which I can add later, but I begin with those 4 projects...)

I'm writing another book on moneyless living (working title is TheMoney-free Life but I hope that changes, any ideas welcome!), and I waswondering if any of you guys wanted to contribute a short piece aboutwhy you live without money. The more the merrier, so all of you are mostwelcome. I want this book to be nothing to do about me, and I want toshow as many perspective as possible and show that more and more peopleare doing it and why - so I'd really appreciate it!

Its aim is to reach out to a wide audience and unite people who want tocreate a more loving world. There will be two parts. Part I looking atthe philosophy behind in, but in a much more radical and in-depth waythan the first book. Part II will be all practical, illustrating theoptions for moneylessness under chapters such as food, transport,shelter etc. So many people contact me wanting to start on their journeyto moneyless, and have no idea how, so I felt this was something Ineeded to do before moving back onto the land as I just don't have thetime to reply to each email any more, whilst still wanting to be able tohelp. Hopefully as we become more this will sort itself out anyway!

Interested?

If not, no problem, I totally understand!If yes, then I'd love if you all could send the following two littlethings, on an openoffice doc if possible but if not in email is fine:

1. Your name and how you want to be introduced... ... Include any websites etc you want plugged.2. Between 0-400 words simply about why you live without money. Bitlonger if absolutely essential, but the more concise you can make it thebetter, even 2-3 lines is good. I know its not a lot, but its a greatexercise in how you would explain it to a stranger on the street if theyasked you...

The only thing else I'd suggest is to let your passion for it comethrough, and keep in mind that the book will be partially wrote forpeople who just need that extra bit of help and encouragement, and not ascolding...not that any of you would anyway! :D...

LOTS OF LOVE!!!!!

Ich bot Mark am 8.1.2012 den folgenden Text-Beitrag an:

Dear Mark (and others)!

Here is my text about 'why I am living without money', for your coming 'survey-book'...I hope, it is short enough...

Why I am living without money:THE DREAM OF A 'THIRD WAY' INSTEAD OF 'CAPITALISM' ('EGOISM- AND REVENGE-LIBERTY') AND VIOLENT 'COMMUNISM' (ANY SYSTEMS OF FORCED PLANNING AND SHARING): 'FREE MOTHER EARTH FOR FREE SHARING HUMANS!'

I am “Öff!Öff!”(“Oeffie”) ( http://www.global-love.eu , http://www.lilitopia.de ), the founder of the "SCHENKERS-(GIVERS- or GIFT-)MOVEMENT",which wants to offer as a '(MINIMAL) BASIC CONSENSUS FOR A GLOBALLY RESPONSABLE DEVELOPMENT': We must develop enough reason and (holistic) love (nonviolent sharing; exchange of gifts...), so that the humans sufficiently can manage '(reason-)consensus for the good of the whole'! (So that it is best then to give all other questions trustingly into their hands for such consensus-decisions, preventing any unnecessary 'ideology'...)So we are working for the 'NONVIOLENT WORLD-(R)EVOLUTION OF (HOLISTIC) REASON AND LOVE', for a 'CONSENSUS-SOCIETY OF GLOBAL ('ORGANIC', FRATERNAL) (PLANNING AND) SHARING'...(- It can also be called a 'global [or holistic] identification-culture[or -civilization]', with 'holistically [world-]identified persons and societies/society'... - If the world is [already] a 'living unity' ['Gaia'] or not; with our intelligence we have become something like a 'head' of it; how much of fusion/union [like 'cells in an (super-)organism'; or - for religious people - seeing us and the world as the 'body of god'...] is needed for sufficient responsability, treating everything not as exploitable object, but for the good of it and of the world, loving everything as 'piece of the world puzzle', serving the 'whole picture' [the 'whole calculation', the 'whole life-(energy-)flow'...] instead of 'fragmented partial interests and [shortsighted] revenge calculations'?... -)We participants of 'Schenkers-Movement' try to be pioneers for this, experimenting with methods of 'practical idealism' like 'organic thinking' (= 'to look at every moment for the most important question and the answer with best reasons'), 'soul-work with light and love', 'non-violent communication (and action)' as way to 'consensus-culture' etc...Since 1991 our core group (the socalled 'Schenkers'['Givers']) is living without luxury, state and money, only exchanging gifts with other humans (in 'global or holistic love'), and experimenting with nature-life, independent from the 'system': “When I can eat the plants from nature, I do not need rulers or bosses!” "Free mother earth for free sharing people!"We invite other humans to take part in "Schenkers-Movement", what cannot be too hard for anybody: If someone thinks, our idealistic dream of humans as "global consensus-brothers and -sisters" is ok (people with such “theoretical yes” we call “allies”), he or she already can take part in thinking about it in boards like schenkeraspiegelforum.plusboard.de (about 'holistic sustainability' etc.), or can take part in our non-profit ally-organisations, or can live with us in our community-projects, even maintaining his/her 'normal citizen-life' (with identity-card, money, job, shopping, TV or what else...)... -- Everybody decides for him-/herself, what practical consequences he/she likes or not...

So let's do the “holistic or integral (identification-)revolution”!OEFFIE (alias Jürgen Wagner)(Schenkers can be for “Free Love” etc.; everybody in “Schenkers-Movement” can have his/her own opinion about such things...; my form of "FREE TRUE LOVE" is since february 2010 a lifelong monogame relation with my wife Anke... )
